Release list
MacMD 0.5.2
Fixed
- The Files sidebar no longer shows rows through the filter field and folder footer while you scroll, and
switching between files flickers less: the list opens already scrolled to the current file and keeps its
folder order.

MacMD 0.5.1
Fixed
- Folders you open in the Files sidebar stay open when you open a file from another folder, in every tab and
window, including the folder you were browsing when a link takes you to its parent.

MacMD 0.5.0
Added
- Right-click a file or folder in the Files sidebar to create a file or folder there, rename it, move it to
the Trash (after asking) or show it in Finder. - Click a folder in the Files sidebar to choose where New File creates; the sidebar's footer shows the folder.
- Code folders are easier to browse: folders without Markdown files are quieter and listed last (still there
for new files), and a filter at the top of the Files sidebar finds Markdown files by name in any folder.
Fixed
- A file opened from a link or another folder is shown in the Files sidebar: its folders open, and the list
scrolls to it and highlights it. Open folders stay open when you move to another file. - New File creates in the folder of the file you're in instead of always at the top.

MacMD 0.4.0
Added
- Create Markdown files where you're working: File → New File in Folder… (⌥⌘N), the New File button and
folder menus in the Files sidebar, and New File Here… in the Open panel. Each asks for a name and opens
the new file.
Fixed
- Following a link to another Markdown file keeps the Files sidebar on the folder you were browsing, instead
of jumping to the linked file's folder. - Relative links and images that go up a folder (
../notes.md) open the right file in Read mode and exports. - Links to a section of another file (
notes.md#setup) open the file at that section. - A link to a file that doesn't exist says so instead of doing nothing.
- The Files sidebar updates when files are added, renamed or deleted, here or in other apps.
- A new document (⌘N) keeps the folder you were working in, and saving it suggests that folder.

MacMD 0.3.1
Fixed
- Focus mode keeps the paragraph you're writing readable: it no longer dims the whole page while you type, the
paragraph you just wrote stays bright when you press Return to start a new one, a selection keeps every
paragraph it touches bright, and dimmed text is lighter so it stays easy to read. - Typewriter mode keeps the line you type centered in long documents instead of drifting a line off.

MacMD 0.3.0
Changed
- A calmer, more consistent look. Code blocks and quotes match between Edit and Read mode; tables sit in
rounded frames with a tinted header; task boxes are rounded squares sized to the text; diagrams use the
page's colors and a clean sans font; secondary text and Markdown markers are easier to read. - The outline shows indent guides and highlights the current heading in Read mode too; the status bar and
Files list are tidier, and an empty document shows a quiet "Start writing…" hint. - Animations respect Reduce Motion.
Fixed
- Diagrams switch colors when macOS switches between light and dark.
- Nested task lists in Read mode sit under their parent item instead of beside it.
- Settings passed at launch (
-theme mono) are no longer mistaken for files to open, and only apply to that
launch instead of overwriting your saved preferences.

MacMD 0.2.0
Added
- Settings → Size → Font size: set the editor and Read mode text size in points (type it or use the
stepper), or change it with ⌥⌘+ / ⌥⌘−. Zoom still scales the whole window on top of it.
Fixed
- The Settings window fits small screens: it scrolls instead of running off the bottom.
- Vim mode now matches Vim: a file's final line break no longer counts as an extra line, and
dw,cw,dG,
2dd,J,{/},v$,aw,a",i(and paste follow Vim's rules at line ends, empty lines and the
end of the file. Checked against real Vim on thousands of commands. - Documents opened straight into Read mode show their relative images and follow links to other files
(they were resolved before the document's folder was known). - VoiceOver names the toolbar's mode buttons "Edit" and "Read" (the Read button was announced as "Bookmark").
- Pasting an image (for example a screenshot) works: ⌘V was disabled when the clipboard held only an image.
- Exported HTML can no longer run scripts from a document (event handlers,
javascript:links and
<script>are removed, and the file carries a strict Content Security Policy). - Styling no longer goes stale after some edits: math colors spreading into the next paragraph, a nested list
item losing its indent, or a code fence line missing its code style. - A setext heading (a line underlined with
---or===) no longer styles the line after it as a heading. - Pressing Return after a horizontal rule (
* * *,- - -) no longer starts a list. - ⌘I on bold text makes it bold italic instead of replacing bold with italic, and ⌘B works the same way.
- Headings that differ only by a number suffix ("Intro", "Intro 1", "Intro") get unique anchors.
- Opening a file from the Files sidebar no longer closes the sidebar: the file opens in a new tab with the
same folder listed. - New windows and tabs open with the sidebar the way you last left it (shown or hidden, Outline or Files).

MacMD 0.1.0
First public release.
Added
- Native TextKit 2 editor that styles Markdown as you type: headings, emphasis, code, quotes, lists, tasks,
tables, links and math, with Markdown syntax drawn faintly. - Read mode (⌘E) with syntax-highlighted code, KaTeX math and Mermaid diagrams, all offline.
- Outline and folder sidebars with a toolbar button (⌃⌘S), focus mode (F8) and typewriter mode (F9).
- Paper, Clean and Mono themes in light and dark, and a line width setting (narrow, medium, wide or full)
that applies to both editing and Read mode. - Zoom (⌘+, ⌘-, ⌘0) scales the editor, Read mode, sidebar and status bar together; the status bar shows the
current level. - Smart editing: list, quote and task continuation; Tab and ⇧Tab indent; ⌘B, ⌘I, ⌘K, ⇧⌘K, ⇧⌘X; ⌘1–⌘6 headings, ⌥⌘0 paragraph;
typing a delimiter wraps the selection. - Image drag and paste with relative links (pasted images are saved to
assets/). - Export to HTML and PDF, Print, Copy as HTML.
- Autosave, versions, tabs, Open Recent and automatic reload when the file changes on disk.
- Settings → General: choose whether documents open in Edit or Read mode.
- Every release ships with a SHA-256 checksum and a GitHub build attestation, so downloads can be verified.
- Optional Vim mode (Settings → Editing): normal, insert and visual modes, motions, operators, text objects,
search,.repeat and:w. Off by default. - Liquid Glass app icon with light, dark and tinted variants.
- About window with license, terms and privacy, and acknowledgements; manual Check for Updates… (the only time
